Professor covers bases when talking baseball
By PHIL ENGLISH Staff Reporter
In less than two months, baseball fans will be lining up at ballparks, drinking beer under the sun and playing for the umpire to yell. "Play ball."
Jim Carothers, associate professor of English, and an avid baseball enthusiast, yesterday told a crowd of about 40 people at the University Forum in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread St., that he couldn't wait until the opening day of the season.
"Baseball in comparison to the problems of the world doesn't make too much sense," he said. "But once you understand it, you're in a game, everything isn't that bad."
CROTHERES, WHO TEACHES a class in the literature of baseball, reflected on the days of baseball past and the optimism of its future.
"I predict the 1984 season will be similar to the past years," he said. "Someone will win each division and on go to the World Series champ.
Carothers said that the only thing he could offer a baseball fan was his knowledge and his opinion of the ball clubs of the 1984 season.
"Right now, the Kansas City
inmates are running the asylum," he said. "The Royals, along with other problems, let a good team get old."
"I think that this is the year to go to Royals stadium and eat the Polish Sausage."
The other teams in the American League West will have a hard time beating out the Chicago White Sox, he said.
Although he said he had a lack of interest in the National League, Carothers said he would always state his opinion.
"THE NATIONAL LEAGUE East will be dominated by Pittsburgh," he said. "They signed a bunch of good, old players, and will probably win."
The National League West, Carothers said, will be dominated by Los Angeles.
The only part of the baseball season Carothers is not looking forward to is the media coverage of the game, he said.
He said that there was too much media attention devoted to baseball controversies and that the days of old dugolf fish stories might be gone.
"Baseball is a beautiful game to watch," he said. "It gives you something exciting and always projects a positive statement."

Three Lawrence attorneys were nominated late Tuesday afternoon for the Douglas County associate district judge position that Mike Elwell will soon leave, the secretary of the nominating committee said yesterday.
Carlin to choose judge from 3 local nominees
the others interviewed were Douglas County District Attorney Jerry Harper; State Rep John Solbach, D-Dawrence; local attorney John Chappell; and Craig Stancliffe, former assistant district attorney.
Milton Allen Jr., secretary of 7th Judicial Nominating Committee, said the committee nominated John Hooge, Jim Salyer and Jean Shepherd. Gov John Carlin will make a final selection within 30 days.
Kansas Supreme Court Justice Richard Holmes, head of the nominating committee, urged the members to make their selections immediately after they had interviewed the nominees Tuesday.
Before the interviews, Allen said, he was under the impression that the nominating committee would have two or three weeks to make their decisions.
In December, Associate District Judge Mike Elwell submitted his resignation, effective June 1. Elwell
said he wanted to devote more time to bronze sculpting.
Hooge, 33, received his law degree in 1977 from the University of Indiana, although he first attended the KU School of Law. He then went on to Lawrence since obtaining his degree.
He has also been a guest teacher for a law advocacy class taught at the KU School of Law for the last three fall semesters, he said, and he assists law students who work at KU's Legal Aid for Students.
Salyer, 47, is a 1973 graduate of the KU School of Law and has been a partner in the Olyer and Salyer firm of Lawrence since graduating. Salyer received a degree from the KU School of Pharmacy in 1958 and practiced pharmacy outside of Lawrence until entering law school in 1970, he said.
Shepherd, 37, received two degrees from KU. She graduated in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in secondary education and taught for five years at Washington High School in Kansas City, Kan., she said. Shepherd then came back to KU for her law degree, which she received in 1977. She was a Douglas County assistant district attorney from 1977 to 1981 and is now employed with the firm of Barber, Emerson, Six, Springer and Zinn of Lawrence. Shepherd is on the board of directors of Legal Aid for Students.
